Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the detection and / or determination of hormones including placental hormones.
  • hormones are meant the substances produced by the various human and animal endocrine glands and in particular, pituitary hormones (FSH, LH, TSH, GH, ACTH, prolactin, oxytocin, MSH, ADH), related placental hormones [human choriogonadotropins ( hCG) and equine (eCG), choriosomatomammotropin (CS), placental GH], thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, gonadal hormones and pancreatic hormones.
  • FSH pituitary hormones
  • LH pituitary hormones
  • TSH GH
  • ACTH prolactin
  • oxytocin MSH
  • ADH related placental hormones
  • hCG human choriogonadotropins
  • eCG equine
  • CS choriosomatomammotropin
  • placental GH thyroid hormones
  • adrenal hormones gonadal hormones and pancreatic hormones.
  • hormones derived from amino acids (thyroid hormones, hormones of the adrenal medulla), peptide and protein hormones (pancreatic hormones, GH, ACTH, prolactin, MSH, ADH, oxytocin ), steroid hormones (gonadal hormones, adrenal cortex hormones) and glycoprotein hormones (LH, FSH, TSH, hCG, eCG).
  • Glycoprotein hormones are characterized by the same structural organization: they are formed by the association of two subunits ⁇ and ⁇ .
  • the ⁇ subunit is identical for all glycoprotein hormones of the same animal species. Conversely, the ⁇ subunit is different from one hormone to another and confers specificity of action.
  • Peptide hormones similarly, have a structural relationship as well as polypeptide hormones (example: GH and prolactin).
  • these hormones are not secreted at constant rates but, on the contrary, exhibit variations in circulating concentration of low amplitude (micropulsatility) or, in certain cases, high amplitude (ex: peak secretion of FSH then LH in preovulatory period). It is therefore necessary to have assay methods which allow precise and specific measurement of the circulating level of these different hormones, in the blood or in any other possible biological fluid.
  • the detection and / or determination of the gonadotropic hormones LH and FSH is particularly important in the study of the physiology of male and female reproduction in animals and humans.
  • the functioning of the ovary during the period of genital activity involves a succession of ovarian cycles during which the female gametes mature at regular intervals.
  • the ovarian cycle has two phases: the follicular phase (growth of the follicle and maturation of the oocyte) leading to ovulation, a period conducive to fertilization, and the luteal phase (formation of the corpus luteum).
  • FSH is responsible for the growth and maturation of the preovulatory follicle; LH intervenes more particularly in the terminal follicular growth of the latter and in the triggering of ovulation.
  • ovulation occurs at a very precise and constant time, for each species, after the LH peak (from 17 to 24 hours depending on the species).
  • CG choriogonadotropin
  • the assay methods currently used in human clinics for these different hormones are, on the one hand, radioimmunological methods (for example: “AMERLEX-M” system from AMERSHAM, “MAIAclone” system from SERONO for hLH, hFSH, hTSH, hCG, etc.) and on the other hand, enzymoimmunometric or immunometric methods (using a non-enzymatic marker: latex particles, europium chelate).
  • radioimmunological methods for example: "AMERLEX-M” system from AMERSHAM, “MAIAclone” system from SERONO for hLH, hFSH, hTSH, hCG, etc.
  • enzymoimmunometric or immunometric methods using a non-enzymatic marker: latex particles, europium chelate.
  • enzyme-immunometric systems some use a fluorescent signal (enzyme-microparticulate system “IMX” from ABBOTT; “STRATUS SYSTEM” from AMERICAN DADE for LH, FSH, hCG ”) or luminescent (system “AMERLITE” from AMERSHAM for LH, TSH, FSH, hCG; “MAGIC LITE” system from CIBA CORNING for TSH, prolactin ).
  • IMX enzyme-microparticulate system "IMX” from ABBOTT; "STRATUS SYSTEM” from AMERICAN DADE for LH, FSH, hCG
  • luminescent system “AMERLITE” from AMERSHAM for LH, TSH, FSH, hCG
  • MAGIC LITE CIBA CORNING for TSH, prolactin
  • the first antibody (AC 1 ) binding to the LH of the sample or to the radioactive LH * added (incubation from 36 to 48 h).
  • the separation of the antibody-LH complex from the free LH * is carried out using the second antibody (AC 2 ) immobilized on the walls of a tube (incubation: 3 hours, with shaking at 37 ° C).
  • the AC1-sample incubation is 16 to 24 h at 20 ° C with shaking; the addition of LH-peroxidase requires a further incubation for 16 to 24 h at 4 ° C.
  • the revelation is carried out using TMB (30 min to 2 h).
  • the detection threshold obtained with the short protocol is 260 pg / ml and that obtained with the long protocol is 70 pg / ml.
  • the methods for assaying FSH in animals are essentially radioimmunological, as are the other hormones.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method for the detection and / or immunological determination of human or animal pituitary hormones, in culture media or in biological fluids, using at least two antibodies, specific for the hormone to be assayed , which method is characterized in that in order to increase the sensitivity and the specificity of said detection and / or of said assay, said antibodies are, prior to their implementation in said detection or said assay, preincubated in a medium containing plasma or serum devoid of the hormone to be detected and / or to be measured, obtained by hypophysectomy (medium INC).
  • preincubated antibody is meant, within the meaning of the present invention, an "exhausted” antibody, - by contacting or passage through a suitable chromatography column -, by any substance which can induce non-hormonal and non-specific serum interference.
  • the biological fluid is advantageously serum, plasma, whole blood, milk or urine.
  • the medium containing serum or plasma, devoid of the hormone to be detected and / or to be assayed, is called INC medium.
  • said INC medium is associated with a buffer at neutral pH and with a surfactant.
  • the INC medium comprises a serum or a plasma devoid of pituitary hormones, obtained by hypophysectomy of an animal and a buffer at neutral pH associated with a surfactant.
  • a buffer at neutral pH associated with a surfactant and in particular a PBS-Tween-BSA buffer.
  • the INC medium comprises a serum or a plasma of hypophysectomized ram and a buffer at neutral pH, associated with a surfactant.
  • the plasma or serum devoid of the hormone to be assayed and the buffer are in a 1: 1 ratio.
  • said method is advantageously an enzymo-immunometric test, highly specific and sensitive, for detecting at least one hormone.
  • the first antibody, fixed on a solid support, saturated in INC medium and the second antibody, optionally coupled to an appropriate enzyme, preincubated in INC medium are brought into contact with the biological fluid to be tested, after which the enzymatic activity linked to the solid and / or free phase is revealed by any suitable means.
  • the revelation of the reaction is then carried out by the introduction of a third antibody coupled to a appropriate enzyme, preincubated in said INC medium and binding specifically to the second antibody.
  • the first and second antibodies are advantageously chosen from the group which comprises anti-FSH, anti-LH, anti-TSH, anti-GH, anti-ACTH, anti-prolactin, anti-oxytocin, anti monoclonal antibodies -ADH, anti-MSH and anti-FSH, anti-LH, anti-TSH, anti-GH, anti-ACTH, anti-prolactin, anti-oxytocin, anti-ADH and anti-MSH polyclonal antibodies.
  • the anti-LH polyclonal antibodies are in particular obtained by immunization of an appropriate animal using an antigen comprising an equimolar mixture of different purified fractions of ovine LH listed 1051, 1055, 1072, 1063, 1085 and 1086, then by purification of the immuniserum obtained by ion exchange chromatography or by affinity chromatography, which polyclonal antibodies have a percentage cross-reactions with other glycoprotein hormones such as FSH, less than 4%, that is to say specificity with respect to LH, in that they exhibit a polyspecificity for recognition of LH numerous animal species and in particular at least ovine, bovine, caprine, porcine, canine, camelina, murine as well as deer species and in that they exhibit an affinity for ovine LH of the order of 10 9 M -1 , respectively in two different animal species.
  • FSH glycoprotein hormones
  • the first and second antibodies are advantageously chosen from the group which comprises rabbit anti-LH anti-polyclonal antibodies and polyclonal horse anti-ovine LH antibodies and the third antibody is advantageously chosen from the group which comprises anti-Horse IgG and anti-Rabbit IgG coupled to an appropriate enzyme.
  • the first antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody to sheep LH
  • the second antibody is a horse polyclonal antibody to sheep LH
  • the third antibody is a horse IgG coupled to an appropriate enzyme and in particular to a peroxidase or to a ⁇ -galactosidase.
  • the various ovine LH isoforms are preferably in equimolar amounts.
  • a suitable purification of said anti-LH polyclonal antibodies can be carried out, as the case may be, either by affinity chromatography or by ion exchange chromatography.
  • the immunological assay and more particularly the enzymo-immunometric assay of the hormones has both the characteristics of a quantitative assay by providing very good sensitivity as well as very good reproducibility, and d '' a qualitative mix by its ease of realization and interpretation.
  • this assay has both the characteristics of a quantitative assay by providing very good sensitivity (detection threshold: 60 pg / ml) as well as very good reproducibility, and of a qualitative assay by its ease of realization and interpretation. It can therefore be used both in the laboratory for very precise dosages (e.g. measurement of the micropulsatility of the secretion of LH) than in the field (detection of the preovulatory LH peak for the artificial insemination of synchronized females and / or superovulated females, embryo donors).
  • This LH assay usable in many species: bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine, camelina, canine, murine, cervidae, allows the precise detection of the preovulatory LH peak in the female and presents an obvious physiological and agronomic interest. It will also allow a good estimate of the optimal time chosen for artificial insemination in each species concerned. In fact, the interval between the LH peak and ovulation is constant for each species; on the other hand, the time interval separating the arrival in heat (benchmark used until now) and the peak of LH is very fluctuating according to the individuals of the same race.
  • the test in accordance with the invention therefore proves to be an essential tool for properly controlling this factor of variability which is important for the successful fertilization of oocytes and the collection of good quality embryos. Indeed, knowing the precise moment of ovulation, thanks to the detection of the LH peak, and of artificial insemination, we can deduce at what stage of development will be the embryos that we want to collect. This point is important insofar as embryos that are too young or too advanced cannot be marketed (eg with a broken film membrane).
  • this animal LH assay test is interesting in the context of the development of a new treatment (synchronization, superovulation) or the extension of these treatments to a breed, or even to a species whose precovulatory physiology is poorly known (e.g. cervids).
  • the enzymo-immunometric assay of human LH has both the characteristics of a quantitative dosage by the very good sensitivity acquired by said process and a qualitative dosage by its ease of implementation and interpretation also acquired by the process according to the invention. It can therefore be used in the laboratory or at home for individual use ("Home test"); in the latter case, it will serve as a kit for detecting the preovulatory LH peak, characterized by the appearance of an unambiguous green color, and making it possible to predict the time of ovulation in women.
  • the antibodies when it is desired to carry out an assay having a species specificity, the antibodies must have particular qualities; in this case, the choice of antibodies is important for an appropriate implementation of the method according to the invention. It is for this purpose that the Applicant has also developed antibodies which are particularly suitable for the process according to the invention.
  • the present invention also relates to a reagent for the implementation of the method of detection and / or immunological assay of hormones in animals including humans, according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises an anti-hormone antibody suitable for being used as second and / or third antibody in said method, which antibody is preincubated in an INC medium.
  • the present invention also relates to a reagent for the implementation of the method of detection and / or immunological assay of hormones in animals including humans, according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises an anti-hormone antibody suitable for being used as the first antibody in said method, which first antibody is fixed on a solid support, saturated in INC medium.
  • the enzyme is chosen from the group which comprises peroxidases and ⁇ -galactosidase.
  • the peroxidase revealing substrates are advantageously OPD and ABTS; the substrate for revealing ⁇ -galactosidase is advantageously 4-methylumbelliferyl- ⁇ -D-galactopyranoside (MUG) and ortho-nitrophenyl- ⁇ -O-galactopyranoside (ONPG).
  • MUG 4-methylumbelliferyl- ⁇ -D-galactopyranoside
  • ONPG ortho-nitrophenyl- ⁇ -O-galactopyranoside
  • the solid support is advantageously chosen from known supports such as microtitration plates, sticks, strips, beads or membranes.
  • the solid phase used is, without limitation, a 96-well microtiter plate in Luxlon (hydrophobic plastic), but the assay can be carried out on other types of plates or other types of supports, in particular sticks, strips, beads or membranes.
  • EXAMPLE 5 Determination of animal LHs with the AP2-peroxidase system .
  • An LH assay can be carried out under the same conditions as those of Example 4, in which AP2 is coupled to a peroxidase.
  • the tests carried out gave a dose-response curve of less good sensitivity than that obtained according to the protocol described above but sufficient for the detection of high concentrations of LH (from 15 ng / ml).
  • the incubation of the substrate must in return be longer 30 to 45 min if necessary for the detection of preovulatory peaks.
  • FIG. 17 shows the LH secretion profile in ng / ml as a function of time in a doe (doe 80). The results obtained in all of the females again show that the moment of the LH peak is very variable during the heat season: it generally takes place at the start of the heat.
  • the assays are carried out as described in Example 3, from daily blood samples taken from 2 bitches during the heat season.
  • the preovulatory LH peak extends over a longer period of time than in the other described species: the duration is 24 hours on average. Therefore, it can be detected by only taking a daily blood sample, which is an advantage for the customers of a veterinary practice.
  • the results obtained with the "DIXIE" dog illustrated in FIG. 18 clearly show this. The tests are read with the naked eye as for the other species.
  • FIG. 18 represents the secretion profile of LH, (- ⁇ -) and of progesterone (- * -) in ng / ml, obtained in the dog DIXIE.
  • the kit Given the length of the heat period, in the dog, the kit will allow to know precisely the moment of ovulation in the dog followed and will allow to practice insemination at the optimal time (fertilization takes place 48 hours after the ovulation, in the dog). Again, an insemination scheme can be established precisely, using the method according to the invention.
  • FIG. 19 illustrates a profile of LH secretion in ng / ml obtained with an assay according to the invention (- * -) and with an RIA assay (- ⁇ -).
